Follow these steps :
1) First download Samsung firmware from GT-P3110 Firmware
2) Download the P3110 firmware based on your region or from any region but you need to wipe/cache reset in case you are going to flash from the region you are not residing.
3) Extract the firmware using winrar,winzip or 7zip,you will get a files with tar.md5 extension..
4) Open odin,please see only these options are checked. Auto-reboot and F.Reset Time,,plese uncheck all other options.
5) click on PDA and select the firmware you have got after extraction
6) Now click on start.
7) you should get a message in the left bottom panel saying "Successful".
8) your tablet will restart.
9) switch it off by pressing Power off button
10) Now immediately press Power button+volume up button for few seconds until you see samsung boot logo and leave power button but keep on pressing volume up button until you see android logo i.e recovery mode.
11) Wipe factory reset from menu and restart.
Enjoy Buddy.

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue on GALAXY GEAR

My galaxy gear is showing the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" screen. Is there anyway to recover from this? Neither Kies 3 nor Kies 2.6 is recognizing my device
.

Same here Odin doesn't do anything either. Has anyone else fixed this? Thanks!

About which Gear are you talking:
Gear 1, Gear 2 or Gear 2 Neo ?

Gear 1 . . . just downloaded an older firmware 4.2.2 and it installed using Odin 3 v185 so all good now

This didn't work for me. I used Odin3.07 and 4.2.2 stock ROM to flash first - I used PHONE option because the others didn't work (no progress in the message window). This 'faulty' flash came up with a 'UI stopped working error' when the Gear rebooted but I was able to get it into download mode now. I then used Odin 3.09 and the flashed the 4.2.2 as a PIT which worked fine!
Got there after reading through a lot of XDA threads and trying many things. But in the end, the answers were here. Thanks.
PS how I got into the mess (the firmware error message with the yellow triangle)? I was on null 23 and wanted to go back to stock rom so that I could sell the Gear. Couldn't get into download mode for Odin 3.09; I can't exactly remember what I did but I disconnected the gear midway through a seemingly failed flash and it got me to the error. Googling says use Kies but nope, it wouldn't recognise the gear even for the 'emergency firmware'. I tried a lot of things, and wasted a lot of time!

Worked perfectly, THANK YOU! After a few failed attempts at flashing my Gear I thought it was doomed, luckily after flashing the stock ROM back to it as you described I was successful at flashing the Tizen ROM. Thanks for your help!!

I just ticked the PIT box and browsed to the ROM file. Using the older Odin, that got me past the error message.
I think there are so many variables, we've probably tried many different combination of things. I'm just describing what worked for me, I can't promise it'll work for anybody else. Just wanted to put it out there so that it may help someone.

This worked for me
youtube{dot}com{slash}watch?v=fS4878klPAQ[ ( i cant post links yet so you will have to fix up the url or youtube search "How to UnBrick Galaxy Gear"
You must down load his rom to start of with after that you should be right to upgrade with Kies to tizen then to tizenmod if wanted or just load Null or what ever but this should unbrick the little [email protected]#$%^&*. Wish you luck

That doesn't make any sense. Odin 3.09 asks for either a .pit file or an .xml file if you choose PIT.

How do you perform the null flash twrp? Could you give step by step guide. I got Odin 3 v18 too. firmware ready.

[Completed] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try agai

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try agai
Hi. I got the problem where I cant use my tab, because it just shows this message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
It happened because I tried rooting my tab in Odin. At first it failed, I tried it a second time and it kind of lagged.. so being my stupid self I disconnected the tab and since then I have this problem.
I tried looking for some resolutions, but half of them either uses Odin:
1. which I really dont know how to use
2. which considers the tab being in download mode. My tab cant even do that.. when I hold the Power+home+volume down buttons, the screen goes black and then the same message comes back.
The second half of resolutions is with Kies. I didnt know about Kies earlier, so it doesnt have my tab details stored there.
I dont know if Kies has to have your tab stored to use the 'Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation' option, but I tried in anyway. When I write in my model, which is SM-T230NU, it shows that the model information I entered cannot be verified.
When I charged my tab a bit and connected to my computer, Kies isnt able to find it. It finds that something is connected, because it shows that it's connecting, but then it stops, then connects, and the same over and over.
Anyways, I have a Samsung galaxy Tab 4 7.0, model SM-T230NU, and I really want to try and repair it on my own before I give it to service.
Please dont hate on my stupidity, because I'm not really into technology..

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You're are going to have to flash the stock firmware in Odin. Go to sammobile.com for the firmware and see this on how to use Odin,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414. If you can't get into download mode that's going to be a big problem. You can look for help by posting here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/help

[Completed] s4 rooting issues (soft bricked?)

so, i was trying to root a verizon s4, there seem to be plenty of ways to do this.
i have odin 3.7 and 3.9 on my pc running windows 10(neither version fight with another)
anyway, i received a s4 that could not open the os. so i opted to try a root install. i opened odin 3.9 and dled a root rom for what i hoped was the right build... it failed.. ( yes i put the phone in to DL mode)
so, i DLed a different one, that failed to..
tried a third time, fail.
at this time after rebooting the phone, the screen tells me that "your device didnt update successfully. use the verizon repair assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update."
i DLed the windows version of verizons repair tool for samsung (i hope the right one, not sure as i had to search hard for it).
i ran the repair.. it spent an hr DLing, then started the repair. gets to 80% then fails.
i have tried this several times.. even restated my computer.
i cannot boot to recovery to reset to factory, which by the way was the first thing tried, but i can boot to DL mode.
i have read so many different things now, and tried different things that i am getting tunnel vision and cant focus anymore.. i need help please!

update
so i managed to get the phone working to boot the os by resetting the phone with a PIT file via odin.. i believe the build is of1? or something of that nature.. now just need to look int to rooting for that.

If you've tried multiple methods to bypass frp galaxy s7 edge, and unable to bypass frp lock, because off course new security patch level now being bit difficult to bypass google account, before it was, just to dial emergency number, and then connect or pair any headset via Bluetooth to open chrome browser or calculator. But in new security patch level, bluetooth options is not working anymore, so that's why i've decided to share with you guyz new method on how to enable bluetooth option to make frp procedure easy for any Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge device.
This method has been tested with [SM-G935L Nougat 7.0]. :fingers-crossed:
Download FRP Bypass Tool:
ODIN [DOWNLOAD]
[SAMSUNG USB DRIVER [DOWNLOAD]
Let's Start to bypass frp:
-Switch on device.
-Connect Wi-Fi.
-From welcome screen, dial emergency number "911", or you can dial any emergency number to get bluetooth icon.
-After dialing number, you will have many option, just tap on "Bluetooth" icon to pair your any bluetooth headset with your deivce.
Note: If your "Bluetooth" option is not working, then for [SM-G395L], you can download FIRMWARE from below, this would downgrade your sec patch to get bluetooth worked.
⇒ G935LKLU1DQL1_G935LBUC1DQL1_LUC*[DOWNLOAD]
⇒ G935LKLU1DQL1_G935LLUC1DQL1_LUC*[DOWNLOAD]
⇒ G935L_G935LKLU1DQF4_LUC*[DOWNLOAD]
Downgrade Sec Patch SM-G935L:
-Install "USB Driver".
-Open "ODIN" Software.
-Give file path from downloaded firmware in "Odin Software".
Note: you have to give file path from firmware only of "BL, AP, CP, HOME CSC", and "Home CSC FILE" you will give in Odin "CSC" option.
-Put galaxy s7 edge device in download mode.
-connect device to computer.
-click on "Start" button from odin software to flash device.
-once flashing process finish, disconnect device, and then device will reboot DEVICE.
-Connect Wi-Fi, dial emergency number (911), and then tap on "Bluetooth" icon.
-pair your any headset with galaxy s7 edge.
-long tap "Call button" from headset, after that you will get popup on your s7 edge device.
-tap on "Galaxy App" from popup.
-In google, type "Calculator".
-DOWNLOAD and Open Calculator.
Dial Below Code:
-Type this code in your calculator "*(+30012012732+*"
-Then in dparser mode, type this one code "**#0808#*"
-If above code does not lead you to the "USB Settings", then type below code.
-Type code "319712358", after that give password "0821"
-Select "USB Settings".
-tap on "DM + ACM + ADB", after that tap on "Reboot"
-After rebooting finish, you will have "Welcome!" screen.
Final Step to bypass frp:
1/ Connect device to computer.
2/ Make sure device is on "Welcome Screen".
4/ extract file, and open "FRP_Techeligible" file.
5/ CMD window will appear, then press any key to continue.
To continue and downloading more combination ROM and Bypass frp (Click Here).
This would remove frp lock, thanks to XDA Developer. :good:

I'm stuck on "-long tap "Call button" from headset, after that you will get popup on your s7 edge device."
I've been trying with Bluetooth headphones JBL E25BT
It seems to have a call button, but when I long press it nothing happens on the screen, and when I hold it down longer than 3 seconds it turns the headphones off. Is there a certain brand of headphones I can purchase from amazon to get this to work?

combination rom cannot b downloaded any more,,,have u another download 4it please,

can you please update the combination rom it sends me to a 404

Has there been a new from unlock for the BRC1 security patch for the 7 on nougat?

Anyone tried this method? Is it working?

Worked for me just now.

Worked for me on a s7 g930aucu4bqg1 almost step by step to a T. The only issues i had other than not being able able to hang up fast enough 2 times trying to pair the bt before the emergency operator answered the phone (so look for the least emergency number you can find i would suggest water or gas) and for me it wasn't **#0808#* it was *#0808#* (probably a mistype as i figured that before typing it), another slight difference in the selection before reboot as my middle option was modem not c whatever which is just another term for the modem yet still at the bottom of the list and while running the program at the start/emergency number screen have me an error or 2 but after the .bat file finished running I clicked next a couple times expecting failure only to be shocked that it had indeed worked and removed the Google frp no problem. Thanks California for these stupid laws that don't deter theifs at all but rather just leave non tech savvy people with 800 dollar paper weights. Thanks for the write up OP here i was thinking i was going to have to pay $5 for my combined flash files as my model isn't available anywhere for dl and learn how to flash Samsung's with Odin again as i left Samsung devices after the cops confiscated my s2 i777 some years ago. Not that Odin is all that hard but i have bricked a couple Sammy's in my day as all it takes is a slightly different basically identical file to do it and it took a year to unbrick my hard bricked proclaim and I still got a hard bricked skyrocket to this day so thanks again for not making me go through that nervous process with such an expensive phone with nice and easy step by step instructions.

What exactly? Did you downgrade your phone with Odin? Which firmware version?

I used combination rom (in ODIN to AP box), then i used my own Samsung account in settings for sing in, then a few experiments with develoepr settings (my secret) a then flash stock ROM without wipe.
Samsung Account must stay in the phone after flash stock rom and that is the point.

I found an alternate method
I don't know but try this one:
-> Download developers tool apk
> Transfer it to a OTG drive
-> Plug the OTG drive while on FRP Screen
-> Install the app
-> DO a factory reset
-> Restart.
Give this one a shot

Where can I find the combination ROM for SM-G935T (G935TUVS4BQC1) Sec Patch March 1, 2017?

Long press call does nothing
When I get to the step where you long press the call button, I did that, and nothing comes up on the screen. I long pressed it for 10 seconds. Literally nothing comes up on the screen. Model is G935W8. Tried on both 6.0.1 and 7.0. Nothing happens. Help?
